“Why don’t people run their own web site?”
Recently I saw someone here feeling a bit overwhelmed, because they wanted to run their own web site, were advised to use Hugo, read about it, checked the docs, and reached the conclusion that they first had to learn git and how to host it on GitHub Pages.
I checked the docs, and there’s nothing about hosting it “normally,” with a web server and FileZilla. Just CLI tools and CI/CD bullshit.
